Notes: AU fate of Severus Snape. Of course. ;-)



He remembered, always, the first time he had realized that Lily was dead.

As in, truly, madly, deeply realized.

She wasn't coming back. To him. To life. Ever.

And Severus had decided that he wanted more in his life than a memory.

He had celebrated his illumination by heading out to a Muggle bar and getting laid.

With every act of making love, always to a Muggle, he erased another layer of damnation for having ever uttered the unpardonable word.

And now, baptized in the tears of Fawkes, Severus was finally set free.

He went forth, and sinned no more.
